River’s Wild Soul
Rewilding and Empowerment Journey for sensitive women and non-binary folks centered around a River trip in Utah
This program is for women empaths and non-binary people assigned female at birth.
Align with your true self and connect with your inner flow during a five day River trip with other wild and sensitive women and non-binary folks.
Join a group of people who are tired of playing small and jumping through hoops for the patriarchy in order to make their marks.
You are longing for both a fiercer yet softer embodiment. And even though the path forward hasn’t been carved yet for your wild and wondrous spirit, you don’t have to keep trudging through thick and dense forest.
The threshold lies before you on the banks of a River.
It is time for you to apprentice water in community with other wild, sovereign, sensitive folks while learning the art of vulnerable, courageous, collective surrender.
River’s Wild Soul is a river journey that will guide you through towering red rock canyons towards your center, your depths, your play, your voice, and your connection with community and the natural world. You will be held and grounded by some of the tallest and most ancient landscapes, so that your expansive, sensitive, creative energy can flow through you.
Instead of being found or discovered, your power and grace is ready to flow through you.
If you know deep in your gut that you desire a wilder and more integrated way of being, a path that you must trust instead of force, an authentic presence that only is birthed after flowing with the Desert’s waters, then this is the exact journey you need right now.
And the sensitive people who have the courage to lead from their hearts and instinct and sing their truths while rooted to the Earth are the key to embodying a new path forward away from a status quo.
We believe wild and sensitive folks have so much to offer a world in need right now; yet to fully be in your creative flow you must allow your inner essence to guide you. Because when you are wildly yourself and know how to listen deeply to your inner guidance, you become like the River, an embodied presence that knows the way forward to a greater Earth community.
As a Wildly Sensitive Soul on the River, you will:
Face fear about the future and surrender to the unknown while staying grounded
Connect to your inner element of water for greater creative flow
Cultivate a deeper sense of belonging with a community of other wild and sensitive folks
Re-activate playfulness, spontaneity, and sense of joy
Step into courage and let go of thought patterns that communicate “I’m not Enough, I’m too Sensitive, I’m too much.”
Deepen your sense of belonging with the animate world
Activate your voice from your instinctual, wild self
Be empowered and grounded in the present moment
Embody the Wild Feminine during these Threshold times
How the
Program
Works
River’s Wild Soul is designed to take you on both an inner and outer journey that will lead you towards your own true center, one of belonging, embodiment, and creativity.
You will be guided down one of the most beautiful Rivers in the American Southwest, the Green River in Utah through Labyrinth Canyon. On this river trip you will continue to learn to be your own inner guide while following the flow and currents of the River within a community of other sensitive folks. As your inner guidance and trust sharpen, you become more clear about your own unique place within our wider Earth community.
The Green River is easy and stunningly beautiful! You will not be put in any kind of danger, and you need zero River skills to participate!
You will deepen into the art of surrender and flow. To spiral back to center is to be led by the Earth’s elements and your vulnerable heart so that you can lead others from the deep well of divine source. You will be guided on a River trip of a lifetime on the Green River while honing your own intuitive and outdoor skills that you will carry with you home, beyond the canyon walls.
On this journey, we will be guided by the grace of the River.
You will learn to be lead by your heart and wild instinct while channeling your own sensitive gifts that are not valued by the dominant culture with a group of other sensitive folks.
On the River, you will emobdy your creative power and learn:
Imagine not feeling isolated and disconnected from your wild self, and instead having the inner knowing and community support to channel your gifts of empathy and sensitivity to be a more impassioned and powerful Creatrixwithin your own life and communities.

“The kitchen is where my passions for food, nutrition, art, and community harmonize. Dazzled by the many combinations of colors, textures, and flavors that meet on the plate, I draw inspiration from my early years growing up in Western Africa and Eastern Europe, where ritual celebrations, connection and sense of place were forged by mealtime gathering. Today, I am part of the team at Global Kitchen in Mancos where my hands and heart intertwine in service to the land and community. When I’m not in the kitchen, you can find me striding on my rollerblades, making lemon peel earrings, soaking at hot springs, hiking, sharing coffee & walks with close friends, and building my Tiny House.
I so forward to bringing my latest inspirations to the river and share my love of food with you all!
